Internal pressure dimensioning and stability for pressurised devices

When designing pressurised equipment, economical production is crucial, while safety, availability and costs are paramount for operators. The dimensioning, design calculation and optimisation of the pressure-bearing components of pressure vessels are among the core competencies in the strength department at DMT ENCOS.

Diverse pressurised devices and their supporting structures

Our expertise includes the calculation and optimisation of all types of pressure equipment, including

  • Fired and unfired pressurised devices
  • Heat exchangers
  • Tank container
  • Silos 

The supporting structures of these devices must also be designed mathematically. This includes:

  • Standing frames
  • Saddle
  • Feet
  • Carrying claws
  • Rings
  • Special constructions

Stand safety certificates

The stability analyses are carried out taking into account various load assumptions, such as

  • Support loads
  • Wind loads
  • Traffic loads
  • Earthquake loads (if required) 

We always use the latest national and international regulations for these verification calculations to ensure maximum safety and reliability.

Calculation programmes

We use state-of-the-art software to achieve precise and reliable results:

  • DIMy
  • PROBAD
  • ANSYS
  • Tube2 FESU

Our procedure

In order to determine optimised test intervals for your system, we calculate the fatigue life and exhaustion from creep and alternating stress. In close cooperation with the approved inspection body (TÜV NORD), we create the corresponding optimised test plans based on the service life analyses. This collaboration ensures that your systems can not only be operated safely, but also efficiently and cost-effectively.
